Basically exactly like my post. See how their names are highlighted in yellow. The way to ping someone is to use the @ symbol at the beginning of their forum name. So if I was pinging myself for instance, I would type @ trixxietriss but there wouldn’t be a space between the @ symbol & my name which ends up looking like this @TrixxieTriss

Or both.

I posted this in another thread. But it’s probably better off here : “What might help the server & start to repair the dev / player relationship again is a meaningful gesture to the APAC players. As a show of good faith, BS should just give a handful of Free Transfers to EVERY APAC located player for May 4th celebration week (regardless of subscriber status). This should include F2P, PREFERRED & Subscribers (they could give extras for subscribers). But if they do want to run this event, they should start sending out the emails next week so players have time to organise”.

You should ping @JackieKo or @EricMusco to clarify.

You’re worried about botting on an app when it’s actually easy to bot as it already is 🤦‍♀️. There have been people doing this for years. (FYI, not advocating it because it’s against the TOS. DO NOT BOT). Because if the app worked the same way as it does in game at the moment, you’d only be able to look at one character at a time to queue up companion missions. Literally no different to how it is now. Except you could lay in bed & do it instead of booting up your PC. People can literally bot that stuff on their PC right now if they want to (and they’d obviously break the TOS, so don’t do it). Adding it to an app on your phone would actually make the botting part harder on a handheld device. It would be next to impossible on iOS devices that aren’t already cracked. People using Android would have a slightly easier time. But honestly, most would still use their PC to do it. But instead of logging into the PC client, they’d run an android app emulator to do it. Which would defeat the whole purpose of making a portable app.

They can’t or won’t even give us the option to sort our character alts on the character login screen. Been asking for nearly 8 years for that QOL improvement. They’d probably need to implement that first of the app/database/servers would crash all the time.

Was asked for many years ago. Sadly, unless they revamped crafting, it would be another waste of dev resources better spent making playable content.

It’s how they get you to stay on the tread mill & make more Alts to replay old content. Then if you get attached to those alts & don’t want to delete them, they get you to buy more server slots so you can make more Alts. And you stay on their $$ grind longer & they don’t need to make as much new playable content.

Agreed. And all they do is keep taking away.

You can try organising on discord.

The devs killed the server with their messed up transfer delays & restrictions. Unless you can arrange a time with people on discord, it rarely pops. Devs, that’s what happens when you piss off a whole region 😞

They maybe part of the new non stat gear that now randomly drops instead of stat gear gear. Maybe ask @JoeStramaglia if this is one of the items that drops. If it isn’t, maybe you can get him to add it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep, they would definitely need to do more work on the generic part of the medal system & also customise it for certain maps. Otherwise you are right, it wouldn’t work in its current format. Also 100% agree with this 👆. But we can’t even get the devs to engage or acknowledge it’s an issue since they dropped 7.2 on us 17 months ago. I believe they given up on even listening to PvP feed back. It’s one of the reasons I’ve unsubbed again. Because PvP seasons does nothing for me. It isn’t fun or enticing playing PvP when MM is broken so badly. I wrote them a small essay of 1980 characters in their limited feedback section on why I cancelled my subscription. I ended up having to keep deleting stuff because 2000 characters wasn’t close to enough space to lay out the reasons I was unsubscribing. Im sure I could have written a small book of reasons why I feel they have let me down as a PAYING customer & why I will no longer continue paying for a sub par product. Sadly, I doubt anyone of substance even reads the feedback or that it goes to anyone not directly on the team that cares enough or has the power to question the devs why they drive long term paying customers away.

I’ve been arguing & suggesting this exact same thing for several years to combat not only AFKers but to also address the influx of people who only damage farm & don’t play to win. But as I’ve said for years now, it would require each map type to have their own customised medal system. BW did start to address this a couple of years ago, but gave up too soon & seemed to pull the team away from improving it more before it was even close to being finished. So once again a good idea was tossed out the window before actually doing enough to make it work 😞 The medal system as it is currently setup isn’t customised enough or fit for purpose to do as you’re suggesting. But it is the obvious answer to fixing AFKers, damage farmers or people who expect others to carry them. It could also theoretically be used to add more competitive PvP ranking back into the game without needing a seperate queue. As I’ve always argued, a properly setup medal system would allow players who play to win & put in the most effort to earn the most rewards. This would even include people on the losing team who were expected to carry their lesser team mates against better organised teams or better players. The way I’ve suggested it would work is that medals + winning should give you the most rewards & achieve goals required for dailies & weekly completion. But even someone on the losing team who did the most in the match to try & help their team win, could theoretically get more rewards or achievements completed than someone on the winning team who just fluffed around doing damage farming or sat AFK the whole match. Of course, this would require the devs to spend money & time & to actually care about fixing PvP. Something they have shown isn’t going to happen, even after swapping companies to Broadsword. If anything, their move to BS has only emphasised they have no inclination to fix PvP or spend anymore time or energy to improve it’s playability, fun or competitiveness beyond making it a time grind & a safe place for AFKers to do as little as possible. They won’t even address the large size premades or match making system. Which should be the first thing on the top of the PvP to do list. And if they won’t address those, there is no chance they’ll fix the medal system. Sadly, what I predict will happen, is more & more people will learn to AFK as the means of least resistance to a format they dislike or have lost fun doing. The devs will see this data & respond with a typical knee jerk reaction like making only winning count again against dailies & weeklies. But this will only turn more players off pvping because matchmaking & premades will still mean skill doesn’t win matches. And if people are unlucky to keep losing from no fault of their own, they’ll stop pvping altogether. The devs don’t understand pvpers or their motivations. And forcing non pvpers to grind PvP when they don’t want too has been their solution to the devs driving actual pvpers from the game since 5.x launched & culminated with 7.2 ejecting the ranked PvP community. That is not how you build a fun, thriving & competitive PvP community.
